A nostalgic buzz of excitement
Summer Hours aren’t exactly school holidays, but they’re perhaps the next best thing. For 6 weeks over the summer months, the whole Fiasco team downs tools on a Thursday and takes a long weekend. With salaries remaining the same and holiday allowance untouched, it’s essentially an extra 6 days off to spend however we please. With total freedom to enjoy, it gives us that same nostalgic buzz of excitement synonymous with the summer holidays of our childhood.
As adults, summer grants only a brief respite from the day-to-day — perhaps a fleeting trip away or cherished weekends spent with family and friends. But it certainly doesn’t leave us feeling refreshed in the way it used to. Of course, there’s holiday allowance, but many of us need to be mindful of these precious days. Plus, if you’re a parent, you’ll be well aware of the struggle to cover a whopping 13 weeks of school holidays. So having an extra 6 days to play with is a real treat.
